I have Perl loaded locally on my computer. I've written several scripts that I’d like to be able to execute from a Firefox web-page with at least one input parameter. I currently execute these scripts from a command line. → perl example.cgi input1 I can use any extension if CGI creates a conflict. thank you.

Firefox can't process CGI files. You need to use server software to process such code and access the files via localhost.
